Bolette Roed

Bolette Roed graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen (Dan
Laurin) and Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et Danse in Lyon (Pierre Hamon).
She also holds a degree as Doctor of Medicine from the University of Copenhagen.

Bolette is an all-embracing musician, working not only with the classical repertoire for
recorder, but also with improvisation, folk and world music. Her repertoire ranges from
medieval through renaissance and baroque to contemporary music and she has world premiered
a large number of works. As part of her innate curiosity, Bolette is constantly striving
to expand the musical playground of the recorder. She works with many different instrument
combinations and styles, including innovative co-operations such as with DJ’s, jazz
musicians and the theatrical stages.

Bolette has toured as a soloist with Arte dei Suonatori, the Danish National Symphony
Orchestra and the Royal Danish Orchestra. Her solo career took her to stages across
Europe and USA. In addition to this, she often performs with her
own unique ensembles, Gáman, Lune Rousse and Alpha, which was nominated for the Nordic Council
Music Prize in 2009. She appears on a number of recordings. “Royal Recorder Concertos”
with Arte dei Suonatori (Dacapo), Alpha (Dacapo) and Alpha World (Gateway) with her trio Alpha,
A Joker’s Tale with Paradox (BIS-CD) and Bach harpsichord concertos (Concerto Copenhagen,
CPO) are just examples from her discography.

Bolette is co-founder and co-organiser of Denmark’s largest baroque music festival,
Midsommerbarok, at Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, and she is head of the Early Music Department
at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where she also teaches recorder since 2009.

MusAcad

MusAcad is an umbrella project for the educational activities of Musical Delicacies. It builds
on our previous experience organising workshops, courses and masterclasses.

MusAcad is not a school in the traditional sense; it can be anytime and anywhere. Its main objectives
are to coordinate between teachers and students, and to provide administrative and logistical facilities
and technical know-how for the actual teaching. It is therefore basically a virtual project, but it
still has its headquarters (Brno, Kociánka 25b) which provides facilities to its students and teachers
for teaching, for rehearsals, for performing chamber concerts, for using and lending instruments and
musical materials, and for consulting subject-specific literature.
